WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID TO DO? Pt. 2

 DO WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO!
Part (2)

Let’s be real, committing to being unstoppable is a nice idea but when you’re scared or heard “no” too many times its not so easy to keep going.

When I came from Trinidad with my big dreams to be a movie star I lived on Herkimer Street in Bedstuy with my single mom and that’s when I found out I was dark skin. Every day at 3pm the African American kids (we were black back then) would beat me up for being too dark with a funny accent and on my block they called me names like blackie and spookie! – Shoot up until then I thought I was fabulous and couldn’t wait to come to America and be a movie star like the kids I saw in “Sound of Music”

It took me years to get over that traumatic time. But my mom fed me loving doses of praise and had me read tons of positive thinking books. Norman Vincent Peale’s “The Power of Positive Thinking” gave me my first shift in Conciousness. He made me aware that I could control how I felt and how the world responds to me by controlling my thoughts. Later, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Ernest Holmes became my teachers.

Today, Scientist Gregg Braden in his book The Divine Matrix confirms the truth that thoughts are energy and how we think and feel does create what we experience.

So of course now I experience compliments all time. I be looking for compliments. When I catch somebody staring at me – I'm thinking – They think I’m fabulous!

Stop worrying about what other people have or what they’re doing or not doing. Most of the time, we read people wrong anyhow. They look good and we see them doing things and going places and we assume they have no fear. Not true. Anybody doing anything significant experiences fear on a regular basis. They just Don’t stop! Or sometimes they do stop for a minute. They may stop to regroup, energize or refocus. I’ve had to stop and do that in my career. After breaking through in film and television, then hitting some disappointing turns I had to stop and rethink my Vision my Dream then recommit.

Stop waiting for everything to be just right before you follow your dream. It ain’t never gonna be just right. I thought when my son was 18 I’d be free. Now my mother is 90 and needs my attention. Stop waiting for the right amount of money, the divorce, the wedding, the promotion. Life is now. 

You can’t wait for everything to line up – you’ll never have enough money, people will always disappoint you. They’re human. It’s not personal. Don Miguel Ruiz reminds us of that in “The Four Agreements”. You just have to harness your mind and follow the vision. The Universe will send to you all the people, money and whatever you need at just the right time. Stay focused on the Vision. Your dreams can happen now. Take one “breath” at a time and you will be surprised at how far you’ll reach. 

Develop the daily discipline of gratitude, thanksgiving, meditation, visualization. Taste the vision, meditate on it, see it and take action daily on it. Surround yourself with positive people regularly. All of this will help to give you a new mind, a courageous mind.

To live your dreams fearlessly requires work but it’s an inner work. You have to work quietly but persistently in your heart. When negative conversations rise up in you, stop them. Don’t buy in and start listening and agreeing. Have compassion for yourself and change the conversation to one that celebrates you and reminds you of your Greatness. This ain’t easy. You will have to do it again and again. Diligently seek out empowering books, tapes, teachers etc. Then Practice, Practice, Practice.

The only thing standing between you and your next beautiful desire is YOU. Change you and your life will change. Strengthen your Mind and you will become Unstoppable.

Finally, say what you are afraid to say. Tell somebody you love them today. People are afraid to do that. Let somebody know you care. Do what you are afraid to do. Say what you are afraid to say. Ask for what you are afraid to ask for.

And no matter what let your light shine! Cause this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! (:

I love you!!

The Gold Mine In You

 There’s a Gold Mine in You


There’s a Gold Mine in You

Hazelle Goodman

 

 I read an inspirational passage from Robert Schuller that said:

 

“When faced with a mountain I will not quit

I will keep on striving until I climb over, 

find a pass through, tunnel underneath or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine.”

 

I carry it along with several other inspiring quotes in my Iphone case.  And when the rocks start to slip underneath my feet, and I feel the butterflies in my belly and the negative voice pops in my head that says “Oh shit, you’re gonna fall!”  I recite one of these inspiring passages to myself, breathe and take my next step.  Yes I have slipped, and sometimes even slid down the mountain, bruised my belly and thighs (cuz you know I gotta be cute, so of course I’m climbing wid no clothes on) but I breathe, grab onto a rock and climb back up. My friends and fans are my rocks and each time they take me higher and higher.  

 

One of the tools I use for climbing is my Bikram Yoga Practice.  If you don’t know this particular yoga, it’s the one where they heat the room to 110 degrees and then you die.  I religiously practice five times per week.  I’ve come to realize that different mountains in your life require different levels of strength.  The business I’m in calls for inner fortitude, discipline and a lot of self love (not the egotistical kind), the kind of love where one has to take good care of oneself to sustain the altitude and the demands.  And since the demand I’ve placed on myself is to Touch, Move and Inspire the world, I have got to take care of me.  Bikram helps me to do that because it is designed to develop five aspects of the mind – Faith, Determination, Self Control, Concentration and Patience.  Since the mind with its positive or negative chatter can be a help or hindrance it must be disciplined.  That damn heat will make anything shut up!

 

I meet many mountain climbers along the way and “wanna be” mountain climbers.  The challenge that the wanna be climbers face is that they watch every body else climb, phone in or text their praises or criticisms from the bottom of the mountain and never take their first step. This happens mainly because deep down inside they are afraid of falling,which they equate with failing, so they watch and wish.  Or some have stepped onto the mountain, slid back down and then gave up.  One thing you have to know when you decide to climb is that you are gonna fall down!  You will step on some shaky rocks, get bruised up and you definitely won’t look cute.  Your commitment to “looking cute” has got to go!  That’s the ego and you will never reach your destination if you listen to your ego and you better not listen to your friends’ egos!

 

Your commitment instead has to be to find a daily Practice, that works for you, and will help you to develop the muscles that you need to climb your mountain.  While every mountain is different they all require Faith, Determination, Self Control, Concentration and Patience.  You will have to give up the excess baggage of certain habits and people that weigh you down and hold you back. YOU MAY EVEN HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR DIET. You will have to accept not always being liked or agreed with.  You will have to learn to love the burn of the climb knowing that the pain is growing your inner strength.  You will have to give a hand to a fellow climber.

 

The business of mountain climbing which is really the business of living life with passion and meaning requires strength, discipline, courage, compassion, and tremendous focus.  It requires the courage to be vulnerable enough to ask for support and keep going if the answer is no.  There is always a yes waiting for you up ahead!  Keep climbing YOU are the gold mine!
